Q: what does it mean is my blood work on my hsv1 came back 38.10 and my hsv2 is 23.60?

: It depends on exactly what blood tests were done. However, it is likely you are infected with both HSV1 and HSV2. Discuss with your doctor. If s/he isn't up to speed on herpes and tests for it, ask for referral to an infectious diseases specialist. Good luck.
